Chapter 895: The 4th Archaeological Team
"Start from entering the main tomb chamber." Lin Ran said, "Those corpses are not from the archaeological team, are they? Are you from the treasure hunting club?"
"No." Zhao Lijie denied decisively.
Instead, Guan Yun squeezed his shoulder joints with his fingers, making his whole body feel uncomfortable as if electricity was flowing through him.
"This is the torture chamber. I have many ways to make your life worse than death." Guan Yun had a sneer on his lips.
When he began to interpret the inscription, Lin Ran gave Guan Yun a task.
When he said he would take action, he subdued Zhao Lijie.
Guan Yun didn't understand why Lin Ran did this, but the only thing he did was trust Lin Ran.
Zhao Lijie felt unbearable pain from being pressed by Guan Yun's technique, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "I'm from the archaeological team!"
"Still quibbling?" Guan Yun obviously didn't believe what he said and increased the strength in his hands.
"Really! Spare me! I told you!" Zhao Lijie cried with an expression of pain.
He has never experienced this kind of pain since he came out of his mother's womb.
These guys are definitely not normal people.
Lin Ran nodded to Guan Yun. Guan Yun immediately lifted Zhao Lijie up from the ground, let him lean on the stone tablet, and said, "If you dare to lie to me again, I have a more ruthless way."
"Yes, yes..." Zhao Lijie turned pale and said, "I am really from the archaeological team, and my name is Shen Yi! I am the captain of the fourth archaeological team. Zhao Lijie is indeed from the treasure hunt club, but not me. .”
His explanation confused everyone.
"You mean, your name is Shen Yi, not Zhao Lijie?"
"Yes." He nodded and said, "I pretended to be crazy and entered a mental hospital, and then I found a way to escape. And the reason why I used Zhao Lijie's name to approach you is because... someone asked me to do this."
"Who?" Lin Ran felt like he was being teased, but looking at him, it didn't look like he was lying.
"Ma Rubin, Deputy Director Ma." He said.
"Why did he want you to do this?" Lin Ran was confused. He and Ma Rubin were already comrades-in-arms.
"I don't know, but what I said is the truth." Shen Yi said with a grimace, because he felt Guan Yun's hand wandering around his shoulder again. If he didn't quickly beg for mercy, he would have to feel the pain just now. .
"What about the real Zhao Lijie?" Lin Ran frowned. He felt that Shen Yi had not lied to him.
"I don't know, but Director Ma said that he is already dead and died as my substitute." Shen Yi was silent for a moment, "Because everyone who comes into contact with the tomb information must die!"
"It's now like this, and you still scare me with curses?" Wang Jinpeng said angrily. He originally thought that although Zhao Lijie was quite timid, he was a good person.
Now I know that they were deceived by him from beginning to end. Could it be that they encountered a trap and it was all deliberately arranged by this kid.
"No... do you know what is in this tomb?" Shen Yi said with a pale face.
This kid really knows what is buried in the tomb.
Lin Ran shook his head and waited for him to give his answer.
"It's... a biological weapon! It's the kind of long-handed monster you saw!" Shen Yi said, "The original intention of establishing the Treasure Hunting Association was not to create Chinese antiques at all. They didn't value history at all, but to find Chinese anecdotes and magic. !”
China, with its 5000-year civilization, is the only civilization in the world that has been inherited.
Unfortunately, it has also experienced many dynasty changes.
Whenever a dynasty comes to power, the contributions of previous dynasties are minimized or simply erased.
So much so that what is recorded in history books can only be used as a reference, and only then can there be a saying that "history is written by the victors."
Western civilization did bring a lot of technology, but long before them, China had its own unique system.
For example, Chinese medicine, five elements, divination, Feng Shui, organ skills, etc.
Ancient science also flourished, with producers making it impossible to die, projecting corpses to form virus sieges, and so on.
Lin Ran has also seen it. Maybe they don't understand the principle, but they can make good use of it.
After Shen Yi said this, Lin Ran couldn't help but think of the last time he had a confrontation with the treasure hunting club.
They spent a lot of money, but it was actually for the hallucinogenic drugs inside.
If they get their hands on that formula, it will be a disaster.
Fortunately, it has been destroyed by the people of the Academy of Sciences. Chinese civilization has always paid attention to moderation. It does not mean that you should not offend others in terms of character, but it means...
Keep everything under control.
A technology, if I can control it, can be used by me.
If it cannot, it must be destroyed.
It is this attitude that allows 5000 years of civilization to continue.
But Neon is different. They have waged terrible wars and tasted the sweetness and bitterness of advanced weapons.
Even if they know they can't control it, they will find ways to study it until it causes devastating disasters.
"Damn it." Lin Ran gritted his teeth. No wonder he often saw news of people from treasure hunting groups being arrested in his previous life. What they did was much worse than tomb robbing.
"You mean, there are methods for making biological weapons in the tomb? How did you learn about it?" Lin Ran grabbed Shen Yi's collar and pulled him up from the ground.
The matter was so important that he couldn't care less about other people's opinions.
Shen Yi coughed and said, "I'm not sure, but on the other side, I saw it with my own eyes..."
His expression became extremely solemn, "Just as you guessed, we actually went to the tomb passage on the other side, and found the orc head and some reagents there."
"Reagent?" The information Lin Ran learned from the archaeological team did not mention anything about the reagent. "No matter how stupid you are, you won't drink the drink from the tomb, right?"
Moreover, the ancients did not have glassware such as beakers, so how could they be stored for so long?
"Of course we won't drink, but...someone will force us to drink..." Shen Yi's expression at this time was exactly the same as when he used Zhao Lijie's name to make up a story, covering his head, eyes wide open. , looking at the ground, hesitantly said...
"The moment we got the things, another group of people rushed in, pointed guns at our heads, and forced our team members to drink the potions..."
Lin Ran thought to himself, it should be someone from the treasure hunting party.
only...
"What about you?" Lin Ran asked.
"I... before I had a chance to drink, one of my team members was frothing at the mouth and fell to the ground. We rushed to help him, but just for a moment, he opened his eyes, as if... like a zombie , grabbed the other person’s neck and wouldn’t let go.”
"Then those people laughed loudly and locked us up, wanting us to kill each other. There were more than 40 people when we came, but unfortunately only Zhao Lijie and I survived."
"Zhao Lijie, that beast, betrayed us. We were solving problems, and he was informing the treasure hunting party from behind!" He became excited.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Why did you survive?"
